Monday’s forecast shows up to 30 mm of rain is expected over the two days. With the current snow accumulation, the City expects the rain to present a risk of localized flooding.

Crews continue to work to clear the more than 6,000 storm drains across the city. While crews work throughout the city to clear the storm drains, residents who live near a storm drain are asked to clear the drain of snow and ice if they can safely do so to help reduce the risk of localized flooding and pooling water.
